A work arrangement in which employees do not commute or travel to work
Real World Example
During the period from 1992 to 2015, telecommuting became important as technology advanced, allowing people to work from home using computers and the internet. This concept responded to problems like long commutes, traffic congestion, and the need for more flexible work arrangements. It also aimed to improve work-life balance and reduce environmental impacts from driving. Today, telecommuting remains significant, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, as many people continue to work remotely. For example, a parent might telecommute to spend more time with their children while saving money on commuting costs, demonstrating how it can positively impact daily life.
